Yes. Mithos has returned.

[fortunefail]

I'll come meet you in person. [He's not comfortable having a discussion like this on the journals.]

[Filtered]

[salvationfound]

All right.

[Kratos will just get some coffee ready, then.]

[fortunefail]

[After a bit of a delay, Yuan finally arrives at Kratos' house. He knocks curtly, before turning on the spot to gaze into the village perimeter again. There'll be trouble if Mithos followed him here, but so far he hasn't seen the kid around.]

[corrinesbell]

Think I'm gonna jump you or something?

[on a roof]

[fortunefail]

[His gaze immediately snaps up to meet Sheena's. Dammit woman, don't sneak up on him like that! He's so focused on trying to sense Mithos' manasignature, it's tougher to see other people coming.]

It's not you I'm worried about.

[corrinesbell]

I figured. ...I didn't answer him.

[fortunefail]

He'll find out we're here sooner or later.

[lostinmyway]

Good morning! [Remember this one, Yuan?] You look much better now.

[fortunefail]

[Oh, he remembers, alright. He just has no clue what her name is. Did she ever introduce herself in the first place?] ... It's you.

[lostinmyway]

Hello! [She looks momentarily puzzled.] Oh dear, it seems I've forgotten your name.

[fortunefail]

Yuan. It's Yuan. And you are?

[orchidsandfire]

[Diana always gets the sucky patrol shifts, so she's flying around the village at the crack of dawn. Even from the sky, she can see that Yuan's acting a little weirdly, so she lands a few feet in front of him with a concerned expression on her face.]

Yuan? Is there something wrong?

[fortunefail]

[Yuan saw her approach a while before she touches the ground, which is probably a good thing because if he'd been caught offguard, he might've accidentally tried to attack her.]

... It's nothing. [At least, he hopes it's nothing.]

[orchidsandfire]

Are you sure? You don't look too well.

[fortunefail]

... A small problem arose with one of the New Feathers. I'm taking care of it.

[consultmybooks]

[Giles spots Yuan on his way to the library that morning. And pauses]

Something wrong?

[fortunefail]

[Ah look, another familiar face. Though by now, Yuan is wondering just how conspicuous his behavior is, if so many people are picking up on it. He stops walking, trying to seem as nonchalant as possible.]

What makes you say that?

[consultmybooks]

I just got the sudden impression that you were expecting to be attacked by vampires.

[fortunefail]

Vampires? I haven't seen one of those in over a year.

[Sadly, he has had experiences with them here in Luceti. None of them were nice experiences.]
